Stacking and folding chairs were designed to make storage of extra seating easy. They are often designed to fit easily into each other when stacked to make it easy to store and stack a number of chairs one on top of the other. The most common of these are the ubiquitous plastic and metal bucket chairs with u-shaped legs that fit over each other to allow easy stacking.

In the past, a chair was just that - a place where you would rest your aching back. Designs were straightforward and simple and you would be foolish to expect anything more from chairs. These days, however, chairs have become art in themselves. Some pieces are so cleverly made that they look like objects of art but double up as comfortable chairs too.
